Answer:
The probability that a manufactured ball will be rejected is 0.99, to two decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean weight is 16 Ibs. The standard deviation of the weights of all manufactured balls from the mean weight is 25. The distribution is normal. With a standard deviation this large, it is already obvious that there is a high probability of producing or having rejected balls. The weights of the balls produced here ranges from (16-25)Ibs to (16+25)Ibs.
That's -9Ibs to 41Ibs.
The minimum permissible weight is 15.68. Any ball with a lesser weight gets kicked out!
So the distance or difference between this figure and the mean is (16-15.68) = 0.32
So the probability of obtaining less than 15.68Ibs or the probability of having balls between the lower boundary of -9Ibs and 15.68 is:
25-0.32 = 24.68
24.68 ÷ 25 = 0.9872 ~ 0.99 to two decimal places.
Answer:
did you get the answer yet I have the same question
-2x-3=8
-2x=8+3
-2x=11
x=-11/2
-2x+4=22
-2x=22-4
-2x=18
x=-9
Are you trying to get "x" because if not, that is the answer. because it is in y=mx+b form
